'''''Mario Golf''''' is the second installment in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] and the first handheld installment as well. It was released for the [[Game Boy Color]] and provides the capability to interact with its [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 counterpart]]. It was released four months after the [[Nintendo 64]] version.

 

This new mode of gameplay had traits similar to that of a [[Role Playing Game]]. The player was granted the ability to control his or her character more freely. This game mode allowed much character interaction and environmental exploration, making this game have a slightly more detailed story than those in the rest of the [[Mario Golf (series)|series]]. The player could also [[Level Up]], allowing characters to be more successful at golfing.

==New Features==

''Mario Golf'' for the Game Boy Color has the ability to link with ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64. With the use of the [[Transfer Pak]], the player can transfer data from one version of ''Mario Golf'' to the other. By doing so, the player can play as characters specifically in the Nintendo 64 installment on his or her Game Boy Color installment of ''Mario Golf''.

====Story Mode Characters====

These characters can only be played as after being chosen for use in the Story Mode.

''Mario Golf'' received highly positive reviews. IGN gave ''Mario Golf'' a perfect score of 10 out of 10, calling it one of the few must-buy games for the [[Game Boy Color]]. They also praised it for extending the standards for audio quality in a [[Game Boy Color]] game. GameSpot did not enjoy it as much, giving it a 7.2 of 10. They criticized it, saying that some of the mechanics could have used some work, such as putting. However, they feel it to be an excellent adaptation of the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|console version]]. In Japan, Famitsu gave the Game Boy Color version a 30 out of 40.

*Similarly, the four main characters of the game can be found hidden in various areas (note: players can't find the character the player uses.)

*This game, along with [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]] on the [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color]], can no longer be transferred on the [[Virtual Console]] release because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is not compatible with the Nintendo 64 / Game Boy Color [[Transfer Pak]].

*This game has a television commercial in which Mario appears placing a purple Game Boy Color as a golf ball, ready to shoot it. In the Latin American version of this commercial Mario is also voiced by [[Charles Martinet]], making this the only time that Mario is seen speaking officially in Spanish.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRo8UTGZzx0</ref>
